Big room with a sink which is useful. The kitchen is very small for 7 people and you only get one table pressed up against the wall. No social space at all, you have to socialise in people's rooms. Great location though. 2 minute walk from GSA and 30 seconds from the Library and Wates House.

All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation
What tenancy length do I need?
Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.
Should I stay in catered student accommodation?
This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.
What is a guarantor and do I need one?
A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.
Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?
Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.
What bills will my rent include?
If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.
What is purpose-built student accommodation?
Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.
Will my student accommodation be furnished?
Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.

Overall Rating: 4/5 I had a generally positive experience staying at this university accommodation. Here’s a breakdown of the key aspects: Positives: Room Space & Amenities: The size of the room was fantastic! There was more than enough space to comfortably organize my belongings, study, and relax. One of the standout features was the in-room sink. This was incredibly convenient for personal hygiene and saved trips to the communal bathrooms for small tasks. The large windows in the room were another highlight. They allowed for plenty of natural light, making the room feel airy and open. This really improved the overall atmosphere, making the space feel inviting and pleasant. Value for Money: Given the rent price, I found the accommodation to be excellent value for money. Compared to other student accommodations, it provided a good balance between cost and the facilities offered. Negatives: Kitchen Size One of the main downsides
Big room with a sink which is useful. The kitchen is very small for 7 people and you only get one table pressed up against the wall. No social space at all, you have to socialise in people's rooms. Great location though. 2 minute walk from GSA and 30 seconds from the Library and Wates House.
It's in a great location, right on campus, however ... The bathrooms are tiny. Showers are so small it's literally difficult to rinse and lather because you have limited movement inside them. Kitchens are tiny. They wouldn't be bad for 3-4 people but 6-7 is definitely exceeding the limits. Very uncomfortable. No elevators in the flat I stayed in and walking up 3 flights of stairs after walking uphill is tiresome. Almost zero ventilation from windows so in the Spring/Summer it gets super hot in your room. No common area to socialize. People stay in their rooms, trying to socialize in the tiny kitchens is uncomfortable. Plenty of laundry machines.
Big room but small kitchen. Still can have social side of it or even go to other rooms to meet people. Lots of fun
Lovedddd shared accomodation best value for money and best people
Very beautiful and well located however had constant problems throughout the year. Loco broke on the second day and I was locked out of my flat with no lock on the main door for 2 weeks. Lift was constantly breaking. Doesn’t have a good ventilation system so higher floors get very hot or very cold. Cathedral bells being heard at all hours should be advertised as it played a part in many people’s sleep cycle.
New building, absolutely spot on. Get what we pay for staff are helpful and try to accommodate and cater for all needs. Any issues get dealt with or fixed same day. Right in the city centre and only 29 minutes walk to uni. Couldn't ask for a better place to oive.
Peaceful, very accessible and with the best location
I loved every minute of living at Cathedral Court! The best location out of all of the halls, lovely rooms. Kitchens are small but that wasn't a problem at all, still had more than enough space to socialise.
Great place to live, near Wates & the library. Kitchen very small but rooms are a nice size.
Great place to live, had many a great time there
Sikk court, truly the best of all the Surrey halls- only legends live here.
kitchen is way to small to be a proper social space for the whole flat
I live in private accommodation, but my friends halls seem good!
I tiny s*** hole you wouldn't put your dog in, but ridiculously close to lectures and the cramped space means you form close bonds
Conveniently close to all my lectures, can be noisy, kitchen ridiculously small and old
you live close to all the important places but your accommodation is nice and quiet. couldn't ask for more :)
The kitchens are tiny and sparsely cleaned, no room to socialise or cook as only 3 people can fit at a time. Makes pre drinks difficult and have to go elsewhere. The showers are what you would expect but the mould and spider infestation is not. Good location as opposite the library.
Kitchens are woefully small Common room could be a lot better considering we have nowhere else to socialise
Very very small kitchens with 4 seats for those living with 6 other people. Not good for socialising have gatherings in rooms instead
Kitchen cannot fit 3 people in let alone the 7 it is meant to cater for. Cleaner is rude and rearranges our kitchens for us and puts clean items in with dirty.
Nice, clean residence close to the library and wades cafe
The accomodation is located nicely and very near to classes and library. I can go out less than 5 minutes before class. The room is reasonably spacious but the kitchen is super small and can only fit 2-3 people at a time. The bathroom is quite small too, but is really clean. Overall, surely a recommendation.
The kitchens are far too small for the number of people sharing it. There are also not enough cupboards to store everything in the kitchen. Most of my food was in my room. However the rooms have a good size.
I shared a block with ~27 people of which 20 of us got on so well together (2013). Many of us are now in are finally year and constantly miss the amazing time we had in our 1st year and regularly find time to catch up. The important thing we realised is that everyone wants to have a good time, so there is no point in wasting time being shy about it. :) #Cath5A #Family
Very disappointed with my halls, no social space, tiny kitchens, toilets without sinks, and we are paying the same amount of money as people living in the exact same halls only renovated.
